Heart palpitations are the sensation of your heart pounding, fluttering, racing, or skipping beats. They can feel like your heart is beating too hard, too fast, or irregularly.

A drop in oestrogen, that helps regulate the heart function and blook vessel flexibility can trigger palpitations in menopause and can also be linked with other symptoms like hot flushes and anxiety.

Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine which can exacerbate palpitations. Exercise regularly, but pace yourself if you’re feeling anxious or dizzy. Hydrate well, as dehydration can affect heart rhythm. Practice deep breathing, yoga, or mindfulness to manage anxiety and calm your nervous system.
